Before re-launching the Family Plan, we did our homework and surveyed over 1,000 families with one goal in mind: figure out exactly what they like to eat for dinner. And when the results came back, we were floored to see 77% of respondents citing Mexican as the cuisine that excites them the most. 77%!

And while families appreciate the classic ground beef taco, they’re also not afraid to mix things up with different meats (like ground turkey and pork) and salsas (like pineapple).

So roll up your sleeves and get ready to hear even the pickiest of eaters asking for seconds.

What’s sweet and nice with just a little spice? These tacos! Filled with beef tossed in warm, earthy spices and topped with fruity pineapple salsa, they’ve got a perfectly pleasant personality the whole family can get behind. Keep an eye out for ’em on the menu the week of October 14 – October 20, and check out the recipe here.

Ground meat tacos get a lighter but just as flavorful twist with turkey. It’s tossed with warm and toasty spices, slices of poblano pepper, crunchy radishes, and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese. Enjoy it with everything or fill it just the way you or your kids like. Get the recipe here.
